It’s been a year since I last photographed this little girl. There were three surprises in store for me:
1) A girl who has grown up since I last saw her
2) A girl who has a super new short hair style
3) A girl who wears the cutest outfits. She happened to wear some great clothes last year and they were just as fabulous this time around.
It was great seeing both her and Mom again. We are gong to have some lovely portraits.

Here’s my birthday girl. She turned four yesterday! A perfect excuse to take some special portraits.
I was really pleased to be able to photograph these children at one of my favorite spots. Here we are at the end of September and the place is still full of beautiful wild flowers!
Recently I have had a lot of clients tell me that it’s been so hard to choose prints from their galleries because they’ve loved all their pictures. Well it is my turn to have a hard time making a selection. There were so many memorable images from this family session and it was hard picking just three for my blog. The girls got very excited about having their portraits taken and I had such a great evening with the whole family.
As the photographer I am often drawn toward portraits that don’t always show smiles, portraits that have unique expressions or convey a mood or character of the child being photographed. This little girl was somewhat hesitant about being photographed during the first part of the session nevertheless I thought this was perfect for capturing a very intimate image of her as shown in the sepia portrait below.
Here she is again with her brother and I love how he’s so interested in what she’s doing! We had smiles all round as the session went on. I photographed these children last year. It was great meeting this family again and I can’t wait to finish the work on this gallery!
If I was giving out an award for the most adorable smile this little girl would win it. Of course big brother is right up there too with his lovely blue eyes. I hope he’s still having a fun time in Kindergarten!
I have a good friend and client here in town who does a fantastic job of letting everyone know about my work. She even spreads the word out of state too! Thank you L! As another favor she also recently allowed me to use her two girls for a location test shot which worked out perfectly. The girls also happen to have a brother who is a little cutie. Of course we just had to get a few shots of him too.
These girls were the stars of the session last Friday evening, happy to share some great looks and lots of giggles with me. Thank you to Mom for being on hand with the hairbrush! (We had a breeze pick up with the approach of tropical storm Hanna.) Thank you to Dad who was very eager to advertise my work to everyone out on their evening stroll! I hope this family had as much fun as I did.
We had wonderful late Summer evening light for this family session and really wonderful children too. I just love the dreamy look this girl is giving in the black and white portrait. It’s picture perfect.
I love my photo sessions with sibling groups. You get to see all the different expressions and personalities whether they are paying attention to me and my camera or being engaged with each other. These children were a delight to spend a couple of hours with. Here’s a selection from the session.
